Taffy
Gojyo came home one afternoon with a plastic bag filled with salt-water taffy. He placed it on the kitchen table as Kanda entered the room.
"What the hell is that?" Kanda said looking at the brightly colored candies.
"It's salt-water taffy. You know, candy?"
"I don't like sweets," Kanda scoffed.
Gojyo's face fell a little. "Oh," was all he said.
Kanda felt bad when he saw Gojyo's reaction. "Fine, I'll try one."
Gojyo's face lit up again. He opened the bag and picked out a purple and yellow one and tossed it to Kanda. "It's raspberry lemonade," Gojyo explained when Kanda made a face.
Kanda unwrapped it and put it in his mouth. It was really chewy and actually not that bad. It wasn't sickly sweet either. "It's okay."
"Just okay?"
Kanda walked over to Gojyo and picked through the bag for another of the same kind. He took it and walked away as he popped it into his mouth.
Gojyo cracked a smile and went about his business. He sat in the living room, relaxing. After a while, he started to notice that when Kanda walked past the kitchen table for something he would discreetly grab a taffy. His trips increased in frequency and he also seemed to have less legitimate reasons to be in the kitchen. When Kanda exited the room, Gojyo grabbed the bag of taffy and hid it next to him.
Kanda entered again for the umpteenth time, he instantly noticed the bag was gone. He shot a glance at Gojyo but pretended like he hadn't noticed.
"Whadda' you lookin' for?" Gojyo asked, his smile just a bit too big.
"Nothing," Kanda replied, not willing to admit he actually liked the candy. He walked over to Gojyo and began to look around without being too obvious.
"Lookin' for this?" Gojyo lifted up the bag.
Kanda narrowed his eyes but said nothing. There was no denying now, he did like saltwater taffy. Grabbing the bag he walked out of the room. Gojyo laughed.
